"Thank you", "You helping me and my children is greatly appreciated", "Thank you, it has been such a tough year", and even "If it hadn't been for you all helping us with these gifts, my children wouldn't have any gifts to open on Christmas morning" were just a few of the comments we heard from those who we were able to help with this project.
Members from our Church decided to try to reach a goal of helping eighty children (forty underprivileged children in the Dickenson as well as Russell County areas). Our Members helped greatly by purchasing items for forty children in the Dickenson county areas and then also with the stocking stuffers for each county and then there were even three bags of stuffed animals that were given to help out with this project. Sister Jessica's Mom, Shelia Taylor also sewed each of the stockings for all eighty children and then we wrote the names of each child on their stockings.
Even better...we were able to help in spreading The Gospel by placing pocket sized New Testament Bibles in each of the stockings as well as a flyer inviting each recipient to our Church.
Here are a few photos of the project results and we just want to say how we Praise GOD for the wonderful success that resulted for this project!! It was a true blessing to help others!!

Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

The staff of Dickenson DSS wants to thank everyone for such a wonderful blessing that you presented to our children. The parents appeared to be humbled by how nice the gifts were. Your church planted a wonderful and strong seed! Thank you for showing God's love and being his light in this dark and troubled world!
